Thoughts I had while re-watching ORPHAN BLACK season 1 🤔💭👭

{1x01} At the 🏦 meeting Sarah plays her Sarah/Beth as far less standoffish (and way more effervescent/flirtatious) than Beth appears in her home 📼s

•

{1x01} As someone who seems experienced with scams, Sarah should’ve been able to see in Beth’s 📼s that sudden 💏😉 would seem out of character to Paul — Beth sends very clear signals in those 📼s…and none of them scream “Do me now!”

{1x04} Helena looks at the little boy who finds her stitching herself up like she’s *actually* going to eat him

•

{1x04} Helena walks into a police station…and Beth’s former colleagues are not nearly as observant as I’d hope cops would be

•

{1x04} Alison/Sarah…

•

{1x05} That the Monitors' somewhat invasive monitoring has gone undetected by the Clone Club for so many years seems highly improbable

•

{1x05} A puncture mark is one thing, Monitors, but an electrode in the subject's mouth?!

•

{1x05} Alison seems like the kind of woman who would have bolt cutters — so she should probably put down the saw…

•

{1x05} How does chopping off Vic's fingers get Pouchy his 💰 any faster?

•

{1x06} A little less condescension, Donnie, and you might not have had to take a golf club to the face…

•

{1x06} Alison with the glue gun in the crafts room…PRICELESS

•

{1x06} Leekie impersonating old man Plato

•

{1x06} Delphine comes on *so* strong, with the uber-enthusiasm for Neolution and practically dragging Cosima to meet Leekie post-lecture

•

{1x06} Vic is scrawny and has only one working hand, and Paul looks like he's got CRAZY skills — if survival of the fittest worked on a micro level, Vic would *not* fare well

•

{1x06} Working for Leekie is one thing, Delphine, but letting him touch you…

•

{1x07} “How would you characterize [the sex]?” – Olivier

•

{1x07} How many hours did it take to do the makeup for Helena’s back?

•

{1x07} If you have to continually remind underlings about the leverage you hold to ensure loyalty, they probably aren’t actually loyal to you…

•

{1x07} The best bio-modification Neolution could have given Olivier would’ve been to significantly decrease his creep factor

•

{1x07} Of all the bio-modifications Neolution must have made available to Olivier, why choose a tail?

•

{1x08} Of course S can identify cops before they flash their badges

•

{1x08} Aynsley needs to learn how to read a room

•

{1x08} S be like…

•

{1x08} Angela’s menacing tone would be so much more effective if she had *anything* to tie Sarah/Beth to the others — otherwise…

•

{1x08} Don’t start with Alison — it’s always the “nice” ones that bring a gun to a knife fight…

•

{1x08} Post-coital Alison driving and rocking out to “Bitch”…

•

{1x08} Cosima’s impetus to keep detailed notes is normally great…but, in this case, far more dangerous than beneficial

•

{1x08} Thank goodness that, despite terrible taste in men, Delphine still knows when to hold back

•

{1x08} The light in S’s eyes during her Intro to Clone Club 101 🥃🥃…

•

{1x08} Leekie dealing with Olivier like…

•

{1x08} S should put a 🔔 (and a GPS tracker) on Kira — and at least 7 more 🔒🔒 on her door

•

{1x08} Helena and Kira’s instant bond

•

{1x08} Kira is wearing a BRIGHT RED jacket *and* is 👋… Was that driver drunk??

•

{1x09} Kira emerging unscathed seems like really strong evidence in support of my theory that, ultimately, the Clone Club experiment was about the generation *after* the clones (despite later evidence to the contrary)

{1x09} Angela has the biggest hard-on for Beth/Sarah — and her paranoia seems like a huge liability for a cop

•

{1x09} Tomas is beyond lucky that Helena never decided to kill him before — he only beats her because, on some level, she lets him

•

{1x09} I’m surprised Felix even owns a vacuum

•

{1x09} “I need to change. Fetch me something gay.” – Felix

•

{1x09} It’s not important for Alison to listen to this intervention — it’s important that she tell them 🖕🖕 and walk out like…

•

{1x09} Art’s condescension is 🤢🤢 — from his comments about Pilates, to his constant threats/ultimatums 😑

•

{1x09} By talking about Helena like she’s his to shape, Leekie proves he’s just like Tomas

•

{1x09} It’s like none of Alison’s suburban bitch ‘friends’ have ever heard of a gay best friend

•

{1x09} Delphine: I’d never been with a woman before. / Cosima: It showed.

•

{1x09} Aynsley threatening Alison for rejecting the intervention “olive branch” like she has any real power…

•

{1x09} H is for Helena…and hugs

•

{1x09} Tomas saying that Kira rightfully belongs to Helena, and not Sarah…

•

{1x09} Let Helena out of the trunk already — she proved her allegiance, and her ideal future looks like…

•

{1x09} Why S even let Amelia in the door, I’m not sure — she knows better than to trust strangers at their word

•

{1x10} Stealing the wallet/purse of a dead woman probably isn’t an offense that justifies the police in kicking down a suspect’s door — impersonating a police officer, however…

•

{1x10} Has no one in Clone Club ever heard of/thought about having a lawyer read through a contract before signing?

•

{1x10} Rachel absolutely knows that duress can serve to negate a contract — bringing up Kira was a bad move that will only succeed in making Sarah like…

•

{1x10} I’m all for Alison finding her voice and telling others what’s what — but I wish she’d realize that she doesn’t need to use it at every moment…and needs to think twice when in close proximity to scarves, garbage disposals, and ex-friends

•

{1x10} “an outstanding warrant for selling stolen meat” — if this is how they phrase it on the warrant… 🤣🤣

•

{1x10} Never even think about returning to the scene of the crime, Alison…take a happy pill (or a sleeping pill) and chillax — in many places, Alison wouldn’t even have a legal duty to help Aynsley (arguably), so…

•

{1x10} Poor Helena — all she wants is a family!

•

{1x10} The problem with contracts are that they fundamentally require all parties to deal with the other in good faith…

•

{1x10} S needs to grab Kira, her go bag, and her shotgun and run — yesterday
